Hit Bottom

.

We finally hit the bottom in our old “trunk of plenty,”
Which left a taste in our mouths so fresh and minty.
As many old memories were refreshed from our past,
Because we may finish looking at the contents at last.

Hit Bottom

.

We found an old baby blanket of mine inside today,
Kind of worn and tattered still looking good that way.
Old King Cole was the character on my old blanket,
A nursery rhyme poem was there too, Mom often sang it.

.

There was a painting on cloth that came from my Mom,
On the back it says in 1969, she bought it in a store from,
Antwerp, Belgium, where they lived working a while.
She loved art, always checking out the current styles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

There was one more old book that we found inside,
Called “Little Black, A Pony” that took us for a ride,
As we couldn’t recall who had owned the old book,
Perhaps it was my brother Craig who gave it a look.

There were two wood bunnies all dressed up nice,
Our friend Linda made just for Pam and I with spice.
She named them Pammy and Billy Ray just for us,
Everyone that saw them back then made a big fuss.

Inside was Pam’s doll when she was just a little girl,
She called her Susie Q when she entered the doll world.
The doll was wrapped in an old dress kind of fancy,
That belonged to her Mom, worn mostly on Sunday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

..
There was a plate inside that was made by our Kristi,
At a.very young age that seemed so very cool to me.
I think the happy girl was Kristi standing out in the snow,
Near Santa’s house and dog there at the North Pole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

There was several pieces of old clothes down deep,
That Pam had placed inside there for us to keep.
There was a Rattlers Shirt from our Houston days,
And a Minnie Mouse top from Mickey Mouse Gang play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

.

There was also a sleeveless Spuds Mackenzie top,
I wore when I still had a muscle or two I could pop.
And a cute dress Pam wore as a very young girl too.
Pam’s grandmother made that dress when it was new.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

We found a bracelet that young Pam had loved so.
Her Dad bought it when they lived in San Fransisco.
On it was one big charm which is a big trolley car.
When she wore it then, she feli like a Bay Area star.

.

We did hit the bottom in that old trunk today all blue,
But over in one corner was a lot of very small stuff too,
These things are worth mentioning as some are fine.
So there will he one more trunk blog before closing time.
